children, residing on Grand street, near

Mrs. McAnnerny objects to this F: but as

more courage than usual, and when Morris
attempted to chastise her young son Will
lie. she threatened to whip him. Morris
got angry with this and struck her 10 the
face with his fist. Then, according to the
lady's story, he seized a large carving

was about to use it on the woman, when u
policeman arrested him. He was taken to
the Police Station together with the knife
and both were locked 'up-the man on a

SUNDAY. MARCH 10, 1887.

The attitude the State assumes towards
the Morris & Essex Railroad Company,
through the repeater which passed the AS
sembly with practical unanimity the other
day, has nothing of yindictiveness about it.
Instead, indeed of retaliating upon the
Company for its defiance of her authority,
the State offers her the most msgnanimous
of terms. The Company has but to yield
to the sovereignty of the Commonwealth to
escape disturbance with its corporate privi-
leges. 'sSubmit to the law she says to
this overbearing corporation, land I will
waive my right to act" But she must
yield acquiescence to the laws. No State
can afford to have her proper authority de-
fed by any of her subjects. The subject
becomes the ruler the moment that hap.
pens. No, in taking steps to regain her
sovereignty, does the State propose to dis
pute the Company's claim of an irrepeal-
able exemption. That has been maintained
by the Courts f; an attack upon it seems to
be hopeless. But the charter of the Com
pany leaves method of redress within
tie reach of the Commonwealth. The
State has the right to take possession OF
the Company's property, after the lapse
of fifty year period that is rapidly draw
ing I igh and if the Company can defy
her authority as long as it lasts, the State
has nothing to do but 10 exercise her pre-
rogatiye of wiping the Company out of ex-
istence This she proposes to do through
ia mSdium of the bill that is now on its
way through the Legislature! But even
this is only technical and constructive
destruction of the Company. 1t will not
need not, at any rate-interfere with
any OF the vested rights of her owner, ex-
cept the indecent right of defying the law
of the land. When the time for the con-
defamation arrives, the same people who
now control her can bid her in again and
they will find themselves in possession of
exactly the same property and the same
franchises they now have, except the one of
exemption from the taxes imposed on all
other corporations. There is nothing in
the contemplated proceedings. therefore,
that should frightcn stock holders, or i'm
pair the value of the Company's stock
which Ex-Governor Bedle urged as one of
the reasons for refusal to pass the bill.
And as a matter of fact fall in the value
of the securities held by the stockholders
of the road is not at all likely to ensue.
The very day the bill passed the Assembly
the stock sold at higher figure than it had
been commanding. The fact that the bill
passed the House by the vote of every man
who was present proves its and
the universally of the sentiment for its en-
actment If the Senate dares, after such a
vote in the House, to smother or kill the
bill, the people of the State will not rest
till they know the reason why.

DOVER, N . H., March 12.-Reeent deyel-
opments seem to indicate that Mrs. Annie
Marshall, who was last Wednesday held in
$500 upon charge of attempting to kill
her husband by putting strychnlne in
some pies, is innocent, and that Marshall
himself placed the poison there. His OBJ
ject. it is claimed, was to erinainate his
wife and get her imprisoned, so that he
might obtain divorce and re-marry. The
authorities will investigate the newly dis
covered evidence, and If it is substsntiated
Marshall will be DEATH with severely.

Printed speech es look unattractive, but
we venture to say that the readers of the
News will find the address of Congressman
William Walter Phelps printed elsewhere
in this mornings issue, both interesting
and instructive. 1t has much wit to COM
mend it; but it is especially notable for the
excellent defense it makes of the average
reputation of Members Of Congress. The
impression is unjustly general that men
seek places in Congress for the opportunity
it affords to make money by corrupt
means Mr.. Phelps is a Congressman him
self, with the largest possible fac Titles for
correct observation. and hls wealth as we'll
as his reputation, put him above the sus-
ricion of being moved to the defense of his
fellow Members by community of selfish
interest with the base ones among them.
He declares that remarkably small per-
eentsge of the men in the Councils of the
Nation are susceptible to corrupt influ-
ences; and that the very great majority of
them are as jealous of their regulations as
woman. On general principles we should
guess this to be SO, even if Mr.. Phelps had
not said it. Only the ambitious men seek
Congressional honors; and to the man of
ambition, fame is much sweeter than gold.
And then, too, it is no easy task Tor bad
mnp to run the gauntlet of public opinion
in the struggle for 50 conspicuous public
post.

to PATHS farewell concert in Chicago, and

A letter appeared in the journal the
other evening, attacking bill introduced
by Senator Edwards into the Legislature,
requiring all telegraph companies to re-
ceive permission to erect poles and to
stretch wires from the Councils of the
towns and cities through which they pass.
The bill seems to us to be wise and
needful one. That these companies
should be permitted to invade wnat com
muDities they please, and go through them
without decent restraint, can commend
itself to 70 mans judgment. The fact
hat the telegraph companies are all
against it, and have summoned the full
force of their lobby to Trenton to defeat
it, is one of the proofs of liz being in the
peoples interest.

We have had an idea for many years
that there was something Inexplicably
strange about the administration of af-
fairof Monmouth County. 1t was ney2
more forcibly illustrated than when Frank
Patterson, on being arranged on count
less indictments for forgery, challenged
one Of the judges that proposed 20 try
him, and bluffed the authorities of the
court so badly thai they have no, dared
to push his prosecution with the vigor
the enormity of the charges against him
led US to expect The great exposure
made 10 the World last Monday morning
throws flood Of light upon the matter.
He claimed at the trial to have been made
cats paw Of by men in higher places
than he neld; and the methods of the
same coterie he accused, as exposed in the
Wsrld, go far towards corroborating his
claim. FIR ank is brother of George w.
Patterson, the luckless ex Assemblyman,
whom clique OF politicians bounded
into the jail, and have been bounding ever
since he got out of it, and seems to have
been 70 more lucky in his relations with

The exposure Is so closely connected with
Frank Patterson's prosecutions that he is
suspected of having put the Worlds rep

NEW York, Nov. lT.-The Evening

Robert billiard, whose husband is in
Mrs. Langtry's company, and Mrs. Henry
u. Dixey, whose husband is travelling
with the Adonis company, occupied a box
Mt Mrs. Langtry's performance in a Har-
lem theater. Frederick Gebhart and
some male friends occupied an adjoining
box. Two of the men made in
sulting remarks concerning Mrs. Hill
lard and Mrs. Dixey and annoyed
them by raising the curtain and ogling
them with opera glasses. Mrs. billiard
informed her husband after the play,
what had occurred. He wrote Mr.. Geb-
hart, inviting him to obtain from his
friends an apology. He received no re-
ply, but last night Mrs. Langtry pushed
him off the stage at the end OF the scene,
and when he demonstrated, she. told him
he could not act his part and gave him
WI weeks notice to quit her company.
Nh. Gebhart has sent the following to
Mr.. Hilliard. in reply to the latter's note,
referred to in the Evening Sun:
Robert G. billiard, Dear Sir:-In

the resultof a misstep OF Mr.. billiards.
